The new rule is an effort to prevent teens from forming "negative beliefs about themselves," Dr Garth Graham, who heads YouTube Health, and James Beser, YouTube Youth’s director of product management, said in a statement.

Aren't negative views about oneself a motivation to change for the better?

Aren't negative views about oneself a motivation to change for the better?

Only if one believes in personal agency and responsibility...

No. The only possible outcome from negative views about oneself is suicide. Haven't you been paying attention these past few years? Science (insert little TM here) has proven beyond a doubt this is the case. They spoke to a DOCTOR for pete's sake! How can you question that?

Look man, you can object to the philosophy behind it. But have you SEEN the kind of shit that gets on fitness YouTube?

Preventing the kids from seeing fitness YouTube increases the likelihood they buy a book.

Which omits the Europeans.
